15 Most Kick*** Women in Television

5. Temperance Brennan (Bones)
There are plenty of guys on TV who are scary-smart. Guy nerds have pretty much had solid representation since there was a Q to each Bond and since MacGyver sauntered around saving the world with a Swiss Army knife and a roll of duct tape. Shows like Chuck and The Big Bang Theory show that the male geek is still beloved and going strong. So what’s a geeky girl to do? Look to Temperance Brennan.
Though she may be woefully inadequate when it comes to pop culture references or the subtleties of human nature, she is otherwise an intellectual powerhouse — not only the gun-toting, crime-fighting leading forensic anthropologist in the nation, but a best-selling author and certified genius. Heck, in one of the most recent episodes she solved a crime on a flight to China using only what the passengers had in their carry-on luggage. Take that, MacGyver.

Say What You Want : Fanfiction is a way of the culture repairing the damage done
in a system where contemporary myths are owned by corporations instead of owned by the folk.

I was going to comment on that very same line!
Take *that*, MacGyver!
Besides, as the Mythbusters proved once, your tricks were a hoax! Try it being scientifically accurate! Ha!
